I suffer from severe depression. Have for over 20 years. Five years ago a single mother of 3 moved into the house next door to me. Right from the start, she was extremely nasty to me.

I rarely left the house if I wasn't working. Social anxiety made it hard for me to get out and do things. My hardly leaving the house left this new neighbor reason to speculate as to what was going on in my house.

Every time I came outside, I was hit with a barrage of insults from said neighbor. Nightly, she would sit outside with another neighbor drinking heavily and cackling about her crazy neighbor. (Me)

Her day off was always on Sunday as she was a postal carrier. She would stay up super late getting drunk on Saturday nights. Throw up drunk, to be exact.

Every sunday morning, I would get the lawn mower out at 7 am and fire it up. Her bedroom window was in the front and just feet from my property line. Needless to say, I spent a good amount of time mowing that strip of grass over and over again. Oh, did I mention that I removed the muffler from the mower?

She never got a sleepin day on sunday for 2 years until she finally moved. What a horrible neighbor she was.
